Ditto Ditto Ditto.....That is the proper thing to do. People often do try to treat eye problems themselves in order to save $$$. There is a much greater chance for permanent blindness if you choose to do this though. Only a vet can really diagnose the exact problem.

Don't use water to irrigate the eye
Try using a warm saline solution (available at the pharmacy).
Don't use a standard spray bottle as the pressure jet is too forceful
and can exserbate any preexisting problem.
In this case running tap water would have been better...

Try using a large syringe or squirt bottle (lab supply)..
the jet will be gentler with the warm saline.

The vet may give you a antibiotic ointment like BNP
to help fight off infection.
Eye problems can be serious so it's best to deal with properly.
